Conversion to Academy Status

Byron Wood Academy is now an academy under the Astrea Academy Trust…

Reach4 was established in 2015 and then re-branded as Astrea in 2017, with a view to working with primary, secondary and all-through schools in the South Yorkshire region. Reach4 was a sister trust to REAch2, the largest and most successful primary academy Trust in the country. Astrea is led by Libby Nicholas, an outstanding Head and experienced national education leader.

Astrea has the highest expectations when it comes to academic results, but the Trust’s aspirations go well beyond the concept of ‘schooling’.
